And then...in true Buffalo fashion, we lose to Denver and Green Bay...We lay an egg in Oakland...and then all we need to do is beat the Patriots 3rd string...and we finish 9-7. The script is written...
Dude, your a buzz kill. Can't you let us ride the wave for now?
I do see us in one scenario hitting 9-3, and beating the Raiders. We finish 10-6, or maybe 11-5 if we can beat one of the three in an upset (Denver, Green Bay, or NE). My preference is NE as I'd love for us going in as the AFC East champs as look at 5 of NE's opponents.

RJ, right on the money which is why I like listening to NFL radio play by play as you get Murph and Kelso even living in Tampa. My problem there is there is a five minute delay so your watching at a sports bar the game, and you hear the plays five minutes later.
I don't mind some of the TV announcers like Phil Simms, Joe Buck, or Rich Gannon. They don't know everything about the team, but enough to make it interesting.
That is why I don't like the local radio here, but prefer the NFL radio commentators. They are more well informed than the people on NFL network, or ESPN. Those guys drive you crazy as they know so little about the Bills.

Thanks much, I think it confirms what we suspected and what we saw.
However, I do have one issue: You based it on 17 pass plays, well, Orton was sacked four times, and scrambled at least one time for positive yards. Those are pass plays by design, and also pass plays that weren't executed. "Obviously" something broke down on those plays, they should be included in the analysis as well.
Most of the sacks cam from overloads from the outside, not the interior. That's up to our tackles, tight ends, and RB's. Urbik played a very good game against one of the best front 7's in the league.

Even if you have to shell out 25 million for Dareus and Hughes its worth it. Mario and Kyle are older players their big contracts will either be restructured or off the books in the next year or two. Keep the young guys there and use the dead money to cover you on the cap to cover the costs and in order to upgrade other positions of need (Guard, Tightend, WR, and corner) find the money with cuts to other guys on the roster and draft choices (Mike Williams would be a good place to start).
Yep, Mario's can be restructured, and one thing I didn't see is the new TV money is coming. I can't remember if it was 2015 or 16, but there is a big jump in TV revenue, and the players get over 50%. In addition, the league received a jump in revenue with 8 CBS tr night games. This will go out to bid for next year and go to 16 games. So Fox, CBS, and NBC will fight for that revenue, as it has the highest ratings for a TR night.
So my point simply is we will have the money to resign Hughes and Dareus. Lastly, remember the remaining part of our defense is not that expensive meaning our secondary and LB crew. We also don't have a lot of money in a QB or very high priced WR. Now Glenn will cost money in time.

> But Orton's not the long-term answer. Is EJ?
Of the two, Orton is much more likely to be the long-term answer than EJ. Manuel isn't a more accurate passer than Losman. He isn't better at processing information quickly than Losman. His physical tools are not much different than Losman's. Losman can't make an NFL roster as a backup, let alone provide a team with a long-term answer as a starter. Why will Manuel's career be any different?
On the other hand, Orton's pre-draft scouting reports indicated he was good at processing information quickly; and that he had the polish of a ten year vet. He also throws the ball accurately, at least the vast majority of the time. He's only 31. Orton is far more likely to be a late bloomer--in the vein of Rich Gannon--than Manuel is to suddenly become something he is not, and never has been.
If Manuel starts throwing the ball very accurately in practice, and does so consistently, then maybe you revisit the above logic. But there's no reason to give him more snaps in games than his performance in practice has earned. The first round pick squandered on him is a sunk cost. The hope invested in him was based on wishful thinking; not on a disciplined, realistic assessment of the strengths and limitations he'd displayed as a college player.
Well written. EJ has shown he will not progress. I don't care where he was drafted. He had enough time to just improve and did not. He's a nice kid, and tries hard, but is now relegated to a back up. On the other hand, Orton who is only 31, can easily play for another 5 years with the new rules against hitting the QB.
Orton has finally found a team that wants to give him a chance. He has an excellent defense, we will get our running game, and some serious weapons. With more time, Orton is only going to get better with more rhythm with his WR. We get Kiko back next year, god I hope we resign our core players like Hughes, and we can take our time over the next couple of years finding a QB in the draft. I can't believe we finally found a QB who makes good decisions.
So what if the media doesn't like Orton! Or thinks he is a back up. I love it. Keep us under the radar. A month from now we could end up 9-3 going out to Denver. I din't see us beating the Broncos, but at some point people will notice the Bills. I hope it's later vs. sooner.

Guys - kikomis meant for the Wil just like a Derrick Brooks. He wasn't powerful enough to handle the Guards which is contributing factor to the running on us last year. He will be much better in space, chasing down Gronk, picking people off, and versatile.
Brown and don't write off Spikes for next year at the Sam. They can work interchangeably, and we always need depth (see Fredex and Spiller- we Eed depth).
Bradham will do an awesome job at the Sam. I'd rather have Lawson then Rivers backing up.
This is a no brainer. For those that are football coaches in high school, even pop Warner, can you imagine this defense with Kiko at the Wil. We'd be even better, but Kiko is NOT a Mic LB. he just overachieved.
Don't rad into this message as he is one of our most talented players on the defense. He is just meant for a 4-3 Wil, that's all. I love the guy.
-
I don't see that as the smart move. My reasoning is he has always wanted to be the starter and take a team to the promised land. He is getting 5.5 mil for two years so if he takes us to the playoffs (God should I say it as we can win many of these games and end 10-6), and he comes out strong next year, why not prolong the cap hit to future years, and give him that contract at game 6 next year.
Then we have an option of reworking Mario's contract as he is not worth $16 mil at that age mid year next year, but can still make very good DE money. I'd love for Orton to lead us, and get locked up for 3 more years after next for decent money.
we have to keep the other talented guys we have so it is a matter of balancing your money. The cap will go up in two years, and we can backload money to Orton if he really turns out to be a stud. I see him getting better as he did not have an off season or training camp, and he still threw four touchdowns today.
What I love is some of these late pick ups on defense like Charles, Wynn, and even Lawson showing up today.
Let's punish the Chiefs in two weeks!
-
Against the Patriots, Geno faced soft pressure, as the Pats have not been successfully rushing the passer. This should be significantly different with our front four wreaking havoc on Smith.
Can Orton pick up the blitzes and dump to Boobie or Brown? Can Sammy come off his blocks quick for slants gashing them with yac.
I can't wait to beat these guys. God i hope Marrone uses the respect card as no one in the media, even the guys I respect are picking the Bills. I'd love to see a blowout for once with 28-12, and no touchdowns for the Jets and only 50 yards rushing. we walk into the bye with 5-3 and ready to take the head off the Chiefs at home. We should also get a number pf players back. I would guess we'll get Fredex back for the Fish, but if he's not 100%, I'd rather hold him out until the Jets at home.
Guys, this could be the start of a run for the next 5 weeks, with 3 at home after today with winnable teams.
Go Bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5-0 the next 5 weeks. Yeah baby!
-
I'd go Browns, as I'd want to save Dallas. Browns should beat the Raiders. They are a mess. Besides, where would you ever pick the browns again this year.
-
We absolutely do not need him back at the end of the year as we don't need to injure his knee again. Our defense is doing well without him, and with a full year off, he should come back strong and really add to the defense next year.
Besides he wasn't designated as IR projected to return, so whether he's better or not, he's not coming back.
-
Interestingly if EJ was still the QB there would be little to no talk of Sammy as ROY, as he's had some phenomenal catches with Orton. I hope it just keeps getting better.
This week if our line can hold off that front four Sammy will have a good game against the Jets secondary. Urbik better improve the left side. On the right, they can keep Summers for max protection on pass plays as he's a good blocker.
-
I'm so happy for him as my guess is he will get in first. I didn't think he was eligible as I didn't think he hit the 5 years yet, or maybe that is just for players.
Wolf is deserving one of these days, and so is Gil Brandt for Dallas in what he accomplished with those Cowboys teams of the 60's and 70's.
-
Exactly. Schwartz has improved on this defense over last year. We're on pace to have 56 saks vs. 57 last year, but the positives of how well we play the run, 3rd down defense, towards the top in Int's is impressive. Schwartz has been excellent. I don't want him to go anywhere.
Our frustrations by what I see and read on this board is about the offense. Granted we need Guard talent, but we also need an OC who's seen some pitches. Hackett is over his head.
I have nothing against Rex.
-
Let's forget about not going into negotiations for Levitre early in year 3 when we knew he was durable and consistent. Why did we let Rhinehart go who is doing just fine in SD?
Then the Urbik benching.
I'm glad we're getting Urbik back in the line up.
-
Yes, I'm old enough to have watched all of those games as well as I remember most of Ferguson's games. With Flutie, there was the controversy, but he was screwed in NE younger where they screwed him by not playing and they lost. The same thing happened in Buffalo. 6 sacks against RJ in the Titans game, and Wade admitted we would have won with Flutie.
He was better, and if you argue it was the defense then why didn't they win the game. Because, Flutie was not in there. The same thing happened before with Flutie.
Lastly, one point not brought up on the entire thread is Jon gruden brought in RJ to the Bucs right after the Bills experiment. Why didn't he make the starting line up? Gruden was enomored with his talent, and look of a starting QB. Gruden, the supposed QB guru thought he could make RJ a stud after dealing with Brad Johnson who just helped him win the SB in 2002. He was benched then cut. I know as I read the stories everyday down here in Tampa. I believe that was his last chance. So for a guy who was so great and should have received a shot, how did he come into a SB winning team with lots of talent still, and flopped again.
Flutie was not Rodger, Marino, etc. but if we had him in the Miracle debacle with our defense, we win that game. The titans went to the SB that year, and we had the better defense. That defense could have kept the Rams in check. What a damn shame and it falls on RCW.

KDiggz - I'm not as confident as you that he will light it up against the front seven of the Jets, but he will begin to do well. Let's face it, Spiller is so frustrating as he has problems hitting the hole with negaitive plays, but then all of us get enamored with the 58 yard run. I like him, but believe he has just been used wrong, where if he was used more like a Sproles, he could be very effective.
My only jersey I've bought in 46 years is Fredex. He is so reliable and gets you the tough yards. I've said to friends since the summer, I love what Whaley did with bringing in 4 guys total as I cannot remember Spiller and Fred not getting hurt at times, as is normal with the position.
I expected at some point for the two workhorses to go down. I feel very confident our next two with Summers can possibly even improve on production as they are different backs. Dixon should be able to grind us out some tough yards. Brown should be explosive enough to have some breakout runs.
So I'm not drinking kool-aid, but do not believe our run game goes away just because we lost our two guys. These are not normal back ups where production dramatically decreases.

I never understood that talk and I still dont......
Franchise QBs dont grow on trees......and for that matter you can take a QB NUMBER 1 overall in a draft and it seems like the odds are they will not be a franchise QB.......
Sam Bradford?
Alex Smith?
These guys could possibly be available to us next year and they were NUMBER 1 OVERALL PICKS......
I agree with your points, but Alex just signed an extension worth $17 mil / yr for I think three more years, and I don't want Bradford. The guy is Mr. Glass from Unbreakable.
Playing hindsight, we should have lured Alex Smith two years ago by paying him more than KC. He was excited about Andy Reid, but he was only paid $12 mil / yr for two years. We could have offered $14 mil and more guaranteed and would have our franchise guy.
Then we have a player like Sammy Watkins......I just love this kid.
We can wait till 2016 to start thinking about another QB in the first round
-
We're 2-1with Orton, and 2-2 with EJ. EJ is not ready to make the drive Orton did at the end of the game. Too many threaded throws EJ could have never made.
I'm not writing EJ off. He needs to sit on the bench for a couple of years.
-
This is a shock how, for a guy who is slow, undersized, and his only claim to fame is he's gay. I could care less if a guy is gay.
He sucks. That's all that matters.
Would anyone really care if Rodgers was gay? No. If he keeps playing like a HOF QB no one care on his personal issues.
I know I don't.
-
It's way too early to tell.
I hope they figure how to use him if he comes back for the last two games. Hr could get his confidence up with the Raiders and maybe could help us with the Pats.
-
Not saying I agree with all, but in the discussion I got .....
QB: Brady, Manning
TE: Gronk, Gates
WR: Megatron
LT: Peters
DL: Watt
SS: Polamolu
DB: Revis
NT: Wilfork
K: Vinatieri
KR: Hester
- Vinatieri could end up the highest scoring kicker ever, and has been clutch all the way back to the first Patriots SB win over the Rams.
- Brady and Manning will always be in that conversation, but no one will ever agree as everyone has their guy meaning Montana, Graham, Unitas, and so on. Manning will have to win it all this year and maybe another before he retires. If he won two more, especially in a row like Elway as he finished, it will be hard not to say he was the best for awhile. That would put him at 3-2, but finishing on top, and have all of the records over Marino, and Farve.
- Megatron, Watt, and Hester could end up as the best ever but they have a long way to go. Megatron was amazing last year with beating Rice's single season record. He needs to keep going and get the yards Carter, Rice, Brown, Reed had over a career. Let's not put a bust up in Canton for Watt yet although he is playing like the best ever at this moment. What if he gets a career ending injury like Bo Jackson, Terrel Davis and so on. Hester will most likely go down as the best returner in history, and with the changes to the kick offs, in the wedge, where they kick from, etc.no one will repeat it. But in the end, he like Tasker will never get a gold jacket.
- Vinatieri could end up the highest scoring kicker ever, and has been clutch all the way back to the first Patriots SB win over the Rams.
-
He may develop a migraine studying the playbook and taking practice reps with Geno. Questionable.
And then hit Decker.
-
Youse guys is really sounding nervous and jealous. Look at the bright side. Jackson and Spiller ain't gonna have to worry about getting smashed this week like they usually do against the Jets. I think I might be going to the game Sunday and I hope none of you show up in your gear cuz I might have to smack you eight ways from Sunday and I might not even know it is you. The first one I would like to find is whoever said something about ghosts which scares me and people think is fake but they are not fake because I have seen some of them.
If you guys do get some sort of Christmas miracle the jet s might have a hard time making the playoffs so I might start rooting for you for the rest of the year.
P.S. J-E-T-S Jets JEts JETS.
Are you sure that punk didn't say kick? Why do you think he don't post here no more?
That whole we lost only by 2 to the Pats only works if you can run for 150-200 yards on the Bills. Out of 7 games we've had one bad one. You can't say that. We were #1 against the run until this week. You have no pass threat. None brother.
Geno has to see Kyle, Mario, Hughes, and big man Dareus in his face the entire game. Domyounrally think Geno will make our secondary look horrible?
As far eas rushers, I hate losing these guys, but this our greatest depth. Dixon, Brown, and Summers are grinders. As people have said for awhile, CJ was struggling up the middle.
We'll see bud. My question to you though is do you have the stones to get on this website if you get killed? I'll swallow my pride and congratulate you if we lose. You deserve that.

Alright, my knee jerk reaction is to show respect for Father Baker as he will be canonized someday and deserves to become a saint, but I know everyone's just kidding.
Now the MT idea I'm good with (BB). I'm actually such a loser I miss those disgusting things so much, I just ordered on-line living in FL. It's funny the original owner retired and lives in my development. Some of us Buffalo transplants have tried to talk him into franchising down here.

The next five games for NE are the Broncos, Colts, Lions, Chargers, and Packers. They'll finish with the Dolphins, Jets, and Us.
I see some losses here for the Patriots.
